Gwangju City to Focus on Inspecting Sports Facility Quarantine Rules Until the 26th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 19th that it will conduct a joint inspection of overall quarantine rules in the sports sector together with its five autonomous districts until the 26th.

This inspection was initiated to emphasize compliance with quarantine rules and proactively respond to the spread of COVID-19, as infections have recently occurred consecutively at sports facilities in other regions and social distancing was adjusted to level 1.5, with community sports clubs and group sports activities becoming active since the 15th.

The inspection covers overall quarantine rules in the sports sector, including about 2,300 sports facilities such as fitness centers, Taekwondo gyms, and martial arts halls, as well as community sports club activities and the prohibition of sports activities involving five or more people when there is no facility manager.

In addition, Gwangju Sports Council will cooperate with sports organizations and associations to ensure that community sports clubs comply with quarantine rules during their activities, thoroughly managing club quarantine in response to the easing of distancing measures.

For indoor sports facilities, inspections will be conducted on key quarantine rules such as mask-wearing, entry log registration, prohibition of food consumption, and a limit of one person per 4㎡.

When a facility manager is present, sports activities involving five or more people are allowed; however, if there is no facility manager, activities involving five or more people are prohibited, and this aspect will be a focus of the inspection to check for any violations.

Kim Jun-young, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Office of the city, said, “The most important thing for infection prevention is the voluntary compliance of citizens with quarantine rules such as wearing masks and social distancing,” and added, “We plan to continuously inspect quarantine rules in the sports sector for citizens’ health and infection prevention.”
